What you'll learn
In this tutorial, we'll work through a guerrilla-style compositing workflow in NUKE, focusing on a holistic approach to color and depth effects. These video lessons will introduce a compositing workflow that emphasizes efficiency. We'll look at a variety of color correction methods, depth and height-based haze, and faked camera effects such as depth of field and motion blur. Throughout, we'll develop a visual style for our comp that will be easy to replicate and re-use for later shots. Software required: Maya 2011, NukeX 6.1.
